Heal Endo: An Anti-Inflammatory Approach to Healing From Endometriosis
Getting an endometriosis diagnosis shouldn’t feel like a life sentence. Because endo is an inflammatory disease, your diet, lifestyle, and treatment choices will impact how your disease behaves, whether through improving your symptoms, reclaiming your fertility or through the stunning possibility of disease remission. Heal Endo puts the power back in your hands to reclaim your life from endometriosis. Based on hundreds of published scientific studies, this handbook clearly lays out the personal actions that can help put you back in control, starting today.
After reading Heal Endo, you will
What endometriosis really is, and how it develops.
That there are different types of endo that affect our bodies differently.
The specific anti-inflammatory food and lifestyle factors proven to help.
How bacteria is the secret endo-trigger few people are talking about, and how to address it.
The role hormones play, and simple ways to support healthy levels.
Which chemicals are associated with endometriosis, and how to avoid them.
"Why surgery is an important tool, and why the type of surgery matters greatly.
While a “cure” may not (yet) be available, remission is the option you should aim for.

This book changed my whole perspective about what endometriosis is. I cried when I finished it. Partly because I know it’s a long road to healing but also because this is the most hope I have felt since being diagnosed with endometriosis. I am so grateful Katie wrote this book!

Amazing.
I was diagnosed with stage four endometriosis in November by excision surgery. I thought this diagnosis would mean changing my entire life. Fortunately this book helped me realise that gradual change and better habits are all I need to implement to improve my quality of life.
Living with this chronic illness is not walk in the park but I do feel hopeful that there are ways to make the journey easier.
Supplements, exercise, lifestyle and daily habits are some things I will be changing in an attempt to improve my health. Fortunately my diet and exposure to toxins is already well suited my my condition but I can definitely make vast improvements to my exercise, lifestyle and daily habits.
I’m feeling so much more positive after reading this book.

This is a MUST read if you have endometriosis and don't know where to start. It has everything from what it is and how it affects your body to surgical and pharmaceutical Aids and naturopathic and holistic approaches.
I learned so much and will definitely be implementing some of the advice from this book into my everyday routines

Women need to know about this book. Whether you have painful periods or know someone who does, consider the possibility that you (or they) have endometriosis. Many people will cross this off the list of possibilities for themselves (myself included!) if they don’t fit every symptom on the list after a quick google search… and many practitioners will also cross it off for this reason too! If you have painful periods, don’t settle for a “this is how it is” and/or “periods just suck” mentality. If your period is horrible, it’s trying to tell you something about your health! Listen! (see other resources on how to below)
After almost 10 years of painful periods, I have so much hope for healing. I am so grateful to Katie Edmonds for writing this book (and I’m grateful to all the other women working so hard in this health space to both uncover answers and make them accessible to the public). I’m just beginning to implement the methods detailed so well in this book so I don’t have any results to report yet, but this book FINALLY explains what endometriosis really is. No, it’s not just a period issue.
You can find good sources on endo elsewhere it’s true, but thus far in my research this is by far the best. No one has scratched the surface and Katie dives deep into endo and explains it so clearly! This book also explained nutrition in the clearest most thorough way I’ve ever been taught about it; blood sugar regulation finally made complete sense to me as she explained it, not giving a few pieces to the puzzle but the whole process and how food effects your whole body.
This book also opened my eyes to how so many people I know may have endo without demonstrating the classic signs, which is a huge reason why I think all women should know about this resource, so the word can get out to who needs it and “periods chats” with our friends can lead to real answers faster. It affects 1 in 10 women and it takes an average of 7-12 years in the US to get a diagnosis. This needs to improve!
Katie details all of your options when trying to tackle endo: nutrition, supplementation, lifestyle, toxins, and surgery. She doesn’t give you a one-way method to healing because she deeply knows how complex this issue is. She also gives all her recommendations with great awareness of different financial and geographic limitations and gives advice on how to prioritize health when the more expensive labels are just not possible for you. Overall, I felt very respected while reading this book—there was no fluff, just hard research—and I think anyone who reads it will feel the same.
Other great sources for investigating your menstrual (and really overall) health:
Fertility Friday podcast- GOLD, she bases everything on research and isn’t wasting your time with anecdotal advice in the form of hard answers. She is a research NERD and has top health professionals on her show which now has over 500 episodes.
The Fifth Vital Sign- Lisa Hendrickson-Jack (same lady from the above podcast) this book goes in depth on period health and why it’s important. It will make you love your body!
Real Food for Fertility (book) Fertility it a sign of health, so this book is applicable to anyone, regardless if you’re looking to conceive.
Nourishing Traditions By Sally Fallon (great cookbook with meaty introduction on health!!)

This book gave me so much hope to self heal my endo and hopefully be completely pain free! It was very well written with a lot of cited information and approaches to self healing. As well as how important it is to find a Doctor who encourages a more holistic, non invasive approach to heal.

YUPPPP just had excision surgery after being diagnosed shortly after getting this book. truly can’t wait to change my little lifestyle to help prevent it ever coming back🩷🩷

A thorough and accessible exploration of contemporary research into women's health and endometriosis.
Highly recommend.
Highly recommend.

I went into this book from two perspectives: as someone with a background in biotechnology and as someone who has lived with stage IV endometriosis for almost a decade. Due to that, I found myself both appreciating and heavily critiquing different parts of this book at the same time.
First, I want to say that there is genuinely good advice in here. The author emphasizes many evidence-supported concepts that are often beneficial for overall health and may help some people better manage chronic illness symptoms: prioritizing nutrient-dense foods, improving sleep, reducing ultra-processed foods, paying attention to stress, supporting pelvic floor health, exercising within your limits, and being more mindful about products you regularly use. I absolutely plan to implement and continue using several recommendations from this book.
That said, readers should approach this book with a critical eye. A major issue throughout the book is oversimplification. I understand that the author is trying to make complex biology accessible to a general audience, but several explanations are simplified to the point of being misleading or nearly incorrect. There are also a handful of statements that are simply inaccurate. In some sections, the author makes broad claims without citations, uses outdated sources, cites non-peer-reviewed material, or even references her own website as support for scientific claims.
I was also frustrated by how often the book redirects readers toward the author’s own products, guides, or website resources. At times, it began to feel less like a health book and more like a funnel into a wellness brand ecosystem.
Another important note: readers should be cautious about the way the book discusses “healing” and “remission.” While lifestyle changes may absolutely help symptom management and quality of life for some people, endometriosis still does not currently have a cure. I worry that some readers, especially those who are newly diagnosed or desperate for relief, may interpret certain sections as implying that diet and lifestyle alone can eliminate the disease itself.
Ironically, some of the strongest parts of the book were the sections grounded in more established chronic pain science, particularly the discussion of nervous system sensitization and chronic pain amplification. Those chapters felt far more aligned with current medical understanding than some of the more speculative microbiome and detoxification claims elsewhere in the book.
Overall, I think this book is best approached as a collection of potentially helpful lifestyle ideas rather than a rigorously evidence-based medical resource. There is value here, but there is also a significant amount of wellness-world extrapolation presented with more certainty than the current science can support.
I also made my Kindle notes/highlights public for anyone curious about the specific claims and citations I questioned while reading. There is genuinely helpful information in this book, but I strongly encourage you to approach some of the medical and lifestyle recommendations critically and discuss major dietary or health changes with qualified medical professionals.
Also, PLEASE do not follow the book’s suggestion to stay in the sun “until your skin turns pink” or question if you are “over-applying sunscreen.” As someone pale enough to qualify as a Victorian ghost, I will absolutely not be participating in that experiment.

As someone who recently had their first surgery & confirmation of diagnosis, this book was the perfect resource to turn to. The chapters are digestible & the more scientific and/or medical based conversations are laid out in a way that makes it easy to understand. There is a plethora of advice and suggestions within this book to help improve your lifestyle living with endo. I highly recommend to anyone suffering & needing guidance! I already know I will refer back to this book again & again.

This book actually helped me gain a much better understanding of endometriosis. It has also given me hope that there are some lifestyle changes that may help with the ongoing pain. It was encouraging to read other stories of people who have had a similar experience to me and have been able to reduce the reliance on pain killers and help to “heal endo”.

This is a great introductory book. If you've already been searching for years about how to heal yourself because you don't have a diagnosis 😅 then this might just be a refresher for you.

Informative and uplifting! I’ll definitely be revisiting
May 23, 2026
I have stage-4 endo. This book was informative and helpful in a lot of ways, but also annoying in others. It's very thorough and easy-to-read, and the diagrams are even funny. I had a much more complete understanding of the disease after reading this book. It also helped me understand that a complete and effective excision surgery might be a necessary step in my journey - giving me the knowledge to advocate for myself and seek surgical treatment. However, it also has some "wellness influencer" vibes. I didn't find it to be the beacon of hope that it claims to be. Sure, lowering inflammation and eating nutrient dense meals and addressing vitamin deficiencies is going to be helpful, but the book is a bit classist. If you can't afford organic grass fed meats etc, this book can be depressing and discouraging. I'm sure everyone suffering from endo would have better health outcomes if they could live by the ocean on an island eating organic foods and hiking in nature every day like this author. That's not the case for most people. I worry that so many suffering with endo get taken advantage of by people who claim to have solutions. This book is borderline in that sense. I would still recommend it to anyone to learn more about endo and the factors involved, but take it with a grain of salt. All my healthcare providers agree that red meat is the one food to avoid with endometriosis.

This was a really helpful and insightful book. It made me look at my endometriosis different and how nutrients and nutrition play such a huge role in healing.
June 18, 2026
I don’t have personal experience with endo, but this book was interesting and very thorough.
March 5, 2025
This book has helped me IMMENSELY! I am so thankful for how easy it was to read and how many practical tips were given. I got her cookbook too and have been following that for 4 weeks. It is healing my body! So thankful!

so much helpful information.

Amazing, need to read it again.
February 10, 2024
I got this book when it first came out and read it cover to cover. I thought it was really interesting and helpful and implemented many of the lifestyle changes. Fast forward to now and after getting really relaxed with my diet and lifestyle and telling myself most of my gastro symptoms are not Endo related, new food intolerances and symptoms have been popping up all over. I find myself coming back to this book again and thinking "oh yeah Katie warned me about that". Her research is on the money and this is one of the most comprehensive books I've ever read about managing this disease.
September 26, 2024
I wish this book and the knowledge within it existed 20 years ago when I was first diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis and adenomyosis. Even with all my experience with the disease, I still learned some new things from this book. This is a must read for everyone afflicted with endo as well as for everyone who treats endo patients.
I'm holding off a star, because it does leave me somewhat conflicted. I've been following this natural protocol with different adherence throughout my diagnosis and I've never been put into "remission" or even really helped significantly from it. Maybe I'd be even worse off than I am if I hadn't done these things though.
I couldn't really get away from the fact that the author has stage 2 endo, which seems like it would be a lot easier to fix than my nightmare situation. Her methods involve a lot of work and deprivation to then have it hardly be effective. While I think all the suggestions in this book are valuable and important in leading a healthy life, I just don't think they're going to make much difference in mine.
Another complaint I had is that almost all the real life testimonies included "and then I got pregnant". I don't need this book to make me feel like it's my fault I couldn't sustain a pregnancy. How about at least one story of where "pregnancy didn't work for me, but I'm still fine and managing my pain"?
Still, with the little information we have on this disease, I found this book incredibly knowledgable and up to date. The resources in the back of the book are also extremely helpful. Making my husband read it next.

Admittedly, I was skeptical because of the title. I have never truly believed endo could be “healed.” I am however glad that I bought this book and gave it a read. This is probably the best explanation of how this godforsaken disease actually works, and what all science *actually* knows about it and managing it. It also does a good job at addressing the reality of living with this disease and not being white, cis-gendered, and wealthy. It was a pleasant contrast to “Beating Endo” in which the authors, [despite being American,] seem to forget the realities of many people plagued with this disease sent from hell, and the cost of living with this disease, especially in America. (Yes I am out here dragging another book in my review for this book.)
I’m grateful to have read it prior to my excision surgery, as I’d like to make some changes noted in here to hopefully keep the disease in remission.
This is a book on endo and inflammation that I would actually recommend. Even for folks who don’t have endo, because it is by far one of the most comprehensive, yet approachable explanations to the disease. It is certainly more accurate than me saying that I’m having an “endo exorcism because the disease comes from hell.” I do however still stand by that.

January 29, 2026Not going to rate this since it was informational. Felt like I learned a lot about nutrition for endo. Helped me rethink what I’m putting into my body. I already eat really clean and follow an anti-inflammatory diet but it was helpful to make easy switches like buying chicken thighs for extra iron and protein rather than chicken breasts (etc.). I felt very empowered after finishing because I felt like I could actually do something to help my endo. I also really liked that she never made it feel like I HAD to do anything. She just was realistic and also emphasized that every person is different but just gave suggestions and research based information. She also emphasized the importance of getting a surgery by a specialist which is SO important and I loved how much she advocated for this. She reiterated the importance of doing this FIRST before anything else which was both reaffirming but also refreshing to hear since I had just gotten a 8 hour long endo surgery done 2 weeks prior to starting this book.

I just cannot thank Katie enough for this book and the whole journey reading it. With Endo being such a complex and unexplored diagnosis, I found the information in this book so well-written, looking at the Endometriosis on so many levels, from the roots to the silver linings, providing us with holistic approach to a whole new, healthy lifestyle.
In my opinion, Katie managed to gather a VAST amount of information, digest it and put in on a beautiful plate for us to have. So many helpful tips, examples and advices.
Last but not least, this book is full of hope! It pushes you to find your silver lining, to listen to your body and choose what works for you, without any pressure. It gives you a sense of community and safety, where you know that you are not alone!

I'm both thrilled and depressed having read this material. Good to have the understanding of what is and different ways of approaching it. Unfortunately the medical system is so far behind that my symptoms are not likely to be deemed serious.

An abundance of holistic ideology with a science lead perspective. Written by Edmonds, who suffers first hand with endometriosis, case studies combined with theory demonstrate the importance of full body health to live with a life changing, chronic pain. Accessibility wise, it contains clear diagram and language that is diverse and you can customise it to apply to any restrictions you may encounter (ie. diet, budget, mobility). Methods such as retraining how your core engages with the rest of your body and maintaining a physical regiment with healthy habits. Ecology within the body and approaching the condition with food science and physical/external tiggers opposed to the tired suggestions of physicians I’ve trekked through before.
Although the case studies did sound almost quite commercial at points, trying to sell a lifestyle change (at first glance very testimonial), they provide the reader with perspectives on how to manage post-op.
This is a fabulous book for anyone who is wanting to further their lexicon on endometriosis. There are definitely some lifestyle changes I'd love to test in my own journey. Well researched and written, some practical visual resources that I've annotated and will be revisiting!

This book has acted like sunshine after what feels like a lifetime of clouds. Having recently had my second surgery for endometriosis and my doctor suggested that I might only get a couple of years of respite, I knew I needed to look for something holistic and long term. I stumbled across this book as a suggested purchase when buying a food, pain and period tracker and I'm so glad I did!
The way that Katie has delved into the science of endometriosis and the description of endometriosis as a systemic inflammatory disease which can be pushed into *remission* has genuinely changed my outlook. It no longer feels like a life sentence and I'm excited to get to work in changing my lifestyle to better my health.
I cried reading the preface when she said 'it shouldn't lead a 23-year-old to thinking her life is totally over' and I can say wholeheartedly that this 23-year-old feels seen and empowered and hopeful that life is just starting.

In my opinion reading this book is worth it. And I would recommend this even to the women that don't have Endometriosis because it gives you another perspective on health.
The author seems to have researched everything really well because she uses published research (of course, you can always say there is a research paper backing up your thesis) and she explains everything in a way that is easy to understand. If you would Google everything yourself you would need weeks, if not months, to put everything together and even then something would probably be missing or it's false.
What I also liked were the stories of different women going through this and what they changed and how it worked for them, or why something didn't work and what was actually the cause.
This book didn't just give me another perspective but also hope, which I desperately needed.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Firstly, the digital version of this book needs to be reformatted. On both phone and kindle, the graphs and photos were either cut off or overlapping the text itself at some points, making it impossible to read these parts.
That out of the way, I think this was a refreshing take on a disease that is very common AND very commonly misinterpreted. There is so much conflicting and misinformation out there, as well as doctors who don't know how to properly treat this condition. As someone with suspected endo, I found this book incredibly helpful to find holistic ways to manage it along with my medical treatment. I do appreciate that this wasn't one of those "don't seek medical help just go holistic" books. Most people need both in order to manage certain conditions.

This book truly is inspiring and encouraging. After my surgery a couple of weeks back and getting my official diagnosis of Endometriosis, I felt lost and confused. I didn’t know where to look, where to begin, or how I could even manage living with this disease. I read this book in 4 days! I feel hopeful that I too can heal and love a normal life. Kate does an amazing job explaining the science & research of endometriosis while also encouraging her readers to keep fighting and find the silver lining. I came out of reading this book empowered and with much more knowledge on the disease. I’m looking forward to implementing her suggestions and tips for healing endo with a different approach.
